IELTS SPEAKING FULL INTERVIEW

PART – 1 INTRO PART

What is your full name?

My name is Dalreet Kumar.

How may I address you?

You may address me as Dalreet.

May I see your ID?

Sure, here it is.

Does it rain much in your country? (Where? When?)
I would say yes. It rains a lot in the summer when tropical storms strike our country. There is torrential rain in the region in June, July and August, and the rainfall tends to be higher in the North than in the South.

Is there any part of your country where it doesn’t rain much?
To tell you the truth, I have no clue about this. I do not give a hoot about geography and the amount of rain in my country. I think the most rainfall is in the North where there is an intricate system of rivers.

Does it rain a lot in your hometown?
Well, it depends on the season. In winter and spring, there is a dearth of rain associated with the arid weather. In contrast, it is usually raining cats and dogs in summer and august, causing loads of troubles for people travelling on the road.

Can you remember any time when it rained particularly heavily in your hometown?
That would be last summer. I was going to work and then all of a sudden it started to rain, followed by a deluge. I was soaked to the skin and couldn’t attend a very important meeting.

Does rain ever affect transportation in your hometown?
Yeah, of course. Traffic is often held up when it rains. All the roads are clogged, and people find it difficult to escape from traffic congestion. I would stay at home and watch TV rather than going out and being caught up in traffic.

PART – 2 CUE CARD

An important equipment

– Equipment you use at home

– How you got it (or, who, bought it)?

– What you use it for?

– How often you use it?

– And explain why you think this thing is useful?

SAMPLE ANSWER

There are many tools or equipment’s in my house and I use then for different purposes. The I would like to talk about today is the vacuum cleaner that I use to clean the furniture , carpet and other places in my house. I clean my house 1-2 times a week and mostly on days off. Cleaning the whole house and the furniture is very time consuming and difficult. The vacuum cleaner that I use makes it easy specially cleaning the dust on carpet.

The machine or equipment is very handy and I find it important to keep our house neat & clean. Our house is just beside the main road and that make it more prone to dust. Before purchasing the vacuum cleaner, it was very tiresome and tough to ask for us to clean the house. But this has become easier after we started using this tool. The vacuum cleaner is electronic equipment that requires the AC current. It is of Euro clean company and is blue in colour. It was for approximately 5,000 rupees. It does dry as well as wet cleaning. It has different attachments for different purposes.

It has a very nice attachment, which goes under the bed also. It is very useful for removing spider webs from the walls and ceiling. After plugging it in, I turn on the power switch and use the long handle that sucks all the dust. I place the front of the machine towards the dust and it gulps the dust and dust – filled bags are later emptied in a dustbin. The vacuum cleaner is an important tool for me as it does an important task of our home.

I remember, before we had the vacuum cleaner, keeping the house spic and span was a herculean task. My mother had the major brunt of cleaning work and she often suffered backache because of bending to mop the floor. Because of the vacuum cleaner, everyone takes turns to clean the house and that too happily.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS

How do you think modern technology has changed the way we work (compared to the past)?

Modern technology has revolutionized the world of work. Today, we can do in minute, what earlier used to take days. Maintaining ledger books has become a piece of cake. Automated machines are doing repetitive monotonous work and humans are enjoying a much more convenient life.

Do you think that operating equipment at work can ever have some bad effect on the body?

Yes. Operating equipment can have bad effect, if the persons are not trained to handle that equipment. Accidents can happen and people can lose their liver also if machines malfunction.

Do you agree that older people have difficulties in using (advanced) modern equipment? How can we help elderly people to use modern devices?

Older people are not so techno savvy. They find it difficult to learn the functioning of modern gadgets.

Are there any disadvantages of using modern equipment too much in the home?

Yes, there are. Young people are so engrossed in these that they forget that they should interact with other family members. People become so dependent on machines like dishwashers, washing machines and microwaves that all work comes to standstill if things do not work.
